The Cold War Chronicles
|
"The Hungarian" is a stylish and sexy thriller that readers have called the literary love child of John le Carré and Quentin Tarantino!"
While vacationing in Greece in 1956, Lily Tassos, the hard-partying daughter of a powerful arms dealer, has a sudden change in plans. After her sometime boyfriend —a CIA agent— is murdered before her eyes, she finds herself holding a ticket to Moscow and a mysterious metal card. A far cry from her usual pairing of a Faulkner novel and bottle (or two) of white Bordeaux. Alone and haunted by her lover's death, apolitical Lily resolves to complete his mission and find out who killed him. Masquerading as a gung-ho member of the American Communist Party, she travels to Moscow, where she is contacted by Pasha Tarkhan. Brutal, yet charismatic, Tarkhan is both a high-ranking Soviet official and CIA asset, not to mention a covert supporter of the Russian Spiritual Underground. This alliance of self-styled "deists" have rejected the secular Soviet state and vowed to bring it down by means of faith, prayer...and blood. Grinding her old life beneath the heel of her Dior stiletto, Lily puts her new one on the line, surrendering to fate, love and, for once, events bigger than herself.
If you're a fan of books by John le Carré, Daniel Silva, Graham Greene, Ken Follett, and Alan Furst, you won't be able to put down this masterfully written Cold War thriller!
